Complaint Review: MEC Global - Glendale Arizona

My experience is almost identical to Scammed in Montana.  I received a call from Esther and she explained how I could make a large amount of risidual money every month by creating my own website with their training program.  She said it was only $495 and someone will call you in 10 minutes to get your payment information.  Anthony called and was obviously frustrated will me saying I want to read the docu sign first.  He couldn't figure out why I wanted to take 10 minutes to read something that will take me 10 seconds to complete.  Like Scammed in Montana, I was skeptical, but was desperate for extra income, so I agreed.  The next day, I received another call & they said to greatly increase my income, I needed to invest additional $300.  Two days later, I received a call from Travis.  He came across like a good friend, chatting about everything.  Then, he said in order for this program to work, you have to purchase leads.  For example, $7500 would purchase over 13,000 leads, which will be divided into 6 months.  Every month I would receive a 30% commission for everyone that signs up with the same $495 program as I did.  He said the average signup rate is 3-5%, but to be safe, figure 1%.  A 1% chance of getting cancer is the only area I can think of that 1% is a good thing, but he said to do the math. 

1% of 2300 leads per month is 23.  Take 23 & mutliply by $148.50-which is my 30% commission of the $495 sale.  This is a minimum of $3,415.50 a month!!  And he also mentioned about the 83 old man making over $8,000 a month.  At this rate, you could make a minumum of $20,490 in 6 months. Who wouldn't want to try that?! 

Like Scammed in Montanna also said, the training videos are very outdated, things don't work like they say, you can't get help from their "customer service", and I could never reach Travis again.  He told me he was my mentor and would help with everything.  Another lie.

Another time I received a call from William.  He too started out like a buddy, and then wanted another $1,000.  When I said I need to see a big profit before I can do more, he got angry and said even Donald Trump and the Sharks know you need to invest money to make money.  He also said that of course he was going to try to sell to me because he has a wife and kids.

In the videos, it does say you can request a refund within 30 days..which I did.  In fact, I demanded this.  I have this in writing and the response from William was only that it was sent to management.  Never heard another thing about it.  I demanded several times for a refund.

I did receive a tiny commission.  However, most months there were only 5 sales at 30% of $58.50.  Five is a far cry from 23 and the $195 startup cost was never mentioned to me.  They just said they can't refuse people if they want to do this program so they RARELY offer the $195 price.  Every sale was based on the $195.  More false information.

I have the BBB in AZ and the Attorney General involved. 

Like Montanna's report, other companies called that said you need to advertize with our company.  How did they know?  And they usually said they didn't know who MEC Global was.

If you check the address for all of the companies involved, you get an UPS Store or a Dental office.  They also mention a mail forwarded address.  All indications of a scam.

4397 W. Bethany Home Rd, Glendale AZ comes up as a UPS Store.
